Authorities say bodies of Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera found by divers in pickup truck

The bodies of two men trapped in their vehicle have been recovered from the waters beneath the Baltimore bridge that collapsed early on Tuesday when a container ship crashed into it, officials announced on Wednesday.

The authorities identified the men as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, a 35-year-old originally from Mexico who was living in Baltimore, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, who was from Guatemala and was living in Dundalk, Maryland.

Divers found the bodies in a red pickup truck in the Patapsco River near the mid-span of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. They were found** **on Wednesday morning and their loved ones were informed in person by officials on Wednesday afternoon, the public and media were told at an evening briefing.

Four other construction workers who had been on the bridge remain missing and are presumed dead. The workers on the bridge, six in total, came from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, authorities said.

That has to be the worst way to go. Unable to escape a sinking vehicle and drown. Hopefully they were lucky and unconscious from the fall but i doubt it. May the management that made the call to skimp out on boat engine maintenance find themselves behind bars.
